The LG 43UD79-B 43″ 16:9 4K IPS Monitor is big, bright and right!

Video editing and photo editing can become a strain on your eyes, especially when working with a smaller monitor. The bigger the monitor, the easier it is to see all of the small details. In addition, I am usually multitasking, and I work with three monitors, with applications open on each one. I am beginning to get tired of this setup, and I also need to get a new monitor with 4K capability.

So far, my research has led me to a couple of monitors that I think will work well for me. The one that I am currently looking at is the LG 43UD79-B 43″ 16:9 4K IPS Monitor. This monitor has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 on a 43 inch In-Plane Switching panel, and provides a wide 178 degree viewing angle. It also features a Dual Controller that allows you to connect and control two computers with one mouse and keyboard. The 5ms response time is decent, along with a 60 Hz refresh rate, and support for up to 1.06 billion colors. This monitor also supports PIP and PBP modes for multitasking. The built-in ports include 2 x HDMI 1.4, 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 and 1 x USB Type-C port. There is a 200 x 200 VESA mounting capability on the back.

If you are thinking of the LG 43UD79-B 43″ 16:9 4K IPS Monitor as a display solution, you can purchase one at Amazon for $600.98.

What’s Julie working on?

This little handheld game device brings back a lot of fond memories of playing Castlevania and Prince of Persia. I still have my original Game Boy, but the BittBoy looks like a lot more fun than that old game player due to the color display and ability to hold lots of games on a single flash memory card. Stay tuned for my review coming soon. Please follow The Gadgeteer or subscribe to our newsletter so you won't miss my review. (01/17)
